Frequently asked questions
Is this full foam splint for emergency use?
Yes, the DMS Economy Full Foam Cardboard Splint is specifically designed for emergency use and temporary stabilization of wounded or broken limbs during transport.
Its features make it ideal for first responders and EMS professionals:
- Full Foam Coverage: The rigid cardboard structure is completely encased in foam, maximizing patient comfort during immobilization.
- Disposable: Intended as a single-use stability device, suitable for high-volume emergency situations (sold in cases of 36).
- Secure Design: The 24-inch and 36-inch lengths feature a special foldable bottom section to more securely anchor the hand or foot.
Note: Adhesive tape is required to firmly secure the splint to the limb, and it is not supplied with the product.
Does the splint feature full foam coverage?
Yes, the DMS Economy Folding Splint is designed with full foam coverage.
This means the rigid cardboard core is completely enveloped in foam on all sides. This crucial feature is intended to significantly enhance patient comfort and ease of handling during emergency transport and immobilization.
Is this splint disposable?
Yes, the DMS Economy Full Foam Cardboard Folding Splint is designed for single-use application. This disposable design helps reduce the risk of cross-contamination.
Is this splint fully covered in foam for maximum comfort?
Yes, patient comfort is a primary design feature. The DMS Economy Folding Splint provides full foam coverage on all exterior sides of the rigid cardboard core to ensure maximum cushioning during immobilization and transport.
Key features of this disposable splint include:
- Enhanced Patient Comfort: The complete foam encapsulation minimizes contact irritation.
- Rigid Support: The internal cardboard structure ensures necessary stability for securing wounded or broken limbs.
- Bulk Quantity: The splints are disposable and sold in large case quantities of 36 units, suitable for emergency medical providers.
Which splint sizes feature the foldable bottom?
The specialized foldable bottom section, designed to enhance stability, is included on the two longest variants of the DMS Economy Full Foam Cardboard Folding Splint:
- 24-inch length
- 36-inch length
This foldable feature allows caregivers to create a more secure, enclosed structure around the patient’s hand or foot during emergency transport. The 12-inch and 18-inch models do not include this folding capability.
Is additional tape required to secure the splint?
Yes, securing tape is required to fasten the DMS Economy Splint effectively around the injured limb.
While the splint provides the necessary rigid structure (cardboard core) and patient comfort (full foam coverage), external tape is essential for:
- Maintaining the splint’s correct position on the limb.
- Ensuring complete and secure immobilization during emergency transport.
Please note: The necessary securing tape is not included with the case of 36 splints and must be sourced separately.
Are multiple splint lengths offered?

- 12 inches
- 18 inches
- 24 inches
- 36 inches
All splints feature full foam coverage on all sides to maximize patient comfort during transport. A key distinction is that the 24-inch and 36-inch variants include a practical foldable bottom section specifically designed to secure the patient’s hand or foot. All sizes are sold in cases containing 36 disposable units.
